Dionne: End of the Bush Era

E. J. Dionne has an announcement to make:

The Bush Era is over. The sooner politicians in both parties realize that, the better for them--and the country.

Recent months, and especially the past two weeks, have brought home to a steadily growing majority of Americans the truth that President Bush's government doesn't work. His policies are failing, his approach to leadership is detached and self-indulgent, his way of politics has produced a divided, angry and dysfunctional public square. We dare not go on like this.

I could add some of my own comments here, but there's nothing I'd write that wouldn't just be a pale echo of the case Dionne makes in the rest of his column, so I'll just suggest you go read him instead.
